Si vous n’avez pas encore de projet pour cet été mais que vous êtes à la recherche d’une expérience unique en termes de mode, culture, vin, cuisine et métro à l’odeur nauséabonde, je vous propose de visiter l’univers sacré de la baguette : la France. La France est le pays le plus visité au monde [...]

If you don’t have any plan for your summer vacation but you are looking for a unique experience in fashion, culture, wine, foodand stinky subway why don’t you go to the funny world of the baguette called France.
France is the most-visited country and attracts around 80 million visitors annually: do not look for a quiet period to visit the Eiffel Tower; it does not exist. Despite that, who does not love French people? (When they are in a good mood and not saying bad words, of course)

As we already said in the previous lexio, the Valle d’Aoste is the North-West of Italy with an average altitude of 2.000 meters e 1% of the country’s square.
But why do I write about this small and meaningless region? Apart from being my home, I would say that it has been really important in the past due to its pass which allows people to get to Switzerland and France within few hours (by feet).

Come abbiamo già detto nell’articolo precedente , la Valle d’Aosta è l’angolo nord-occidentale dell’Italia con un’altitudine media di 2000 metri e l’1% della sua superficie. Ma perché mi metto a scrivere a proposito di questa piccola e insignificante regione? A parte il fatto che si tratta di casa mia, vi dirò che è stata molto [...]

Sampai saat ini, kata “tabu” sendiri masih dianggap sebagai topik ambigu dan ‘menggelitik’ untuk dibahas oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Beberapa mungkin telah dapat menerimanya, tetapi beberapa mungkin belum bisa menerima. Kita mungkin sudah tahu beragam tabu budaya di beberapa bagian dunia. Namun, bagaimana dengan di Indonesia? Mari kita cari tahu tentang hal itu! 1. Menyentuh kepala [...]

Until today, the word “taboo” itself is still considered an ambiguous topic in the Indonesian society. Some may have accepted it, but some may just be unable to accept it.
We might already know some cultural taboos in some parts of the world. However, how about in Indonesia? Let’s find out about it!

Det är en spännande dag i Sverige idag, den 30:e april. I den engelskspråkiga versionen av denna artikel försöker jag sätta in en oinvigd utlänning i hur det svenska firandet funkar. Från hens utomstående synvinkel kan det vara nog så intressant att höra om majbrasor, folktro och den svenska mösspåtagningen, men för en sverigebo är [...]

It’s a big day today, April 30th; it is the day for scaring off witches and demons and making room for spring. Now, if spring hasn’t started already, we are obviously some place high up North—as high up as Sweden, in fact. In this country, Valborgsmässoafton is celebrated tonight, with great bonfires, drinking—and a couple of other more eccentric traditions…

В своей последней статье я постаралась пролить свет на некоторые распространённые факты о русских, чтобы Вы были полностью готовы к путешествию в Россию. Предупреждён – значит вооружён перед лицом культурного шока! Я пытаюсь быть как можно более объективной, когда делюсь своим взглядом на вещи изнутри. И хотя я должна признать, что каждый факт основан на какой-то доле правды, я всё же отмечу некоторые преувеличения, которые обросли слухами.

In my last article I tried to cast a little light on some well-known facts about Russians so that you can be fully prepared before your trip to Russia. Forewarned is forearmed in the face of culture shock! I try to be as objective as I can sharing my view from inside. And although I must admit that every fact is based at least on a bit of truth I will point out some word of mouth exaggerations. Let’s continue with our journey…
